Mathematical Model for Radiowave Propagation in Sparse Forests: Rytov Approximation

Automatic Control and Computer Sciences 2009
Valentīns Popovs

In this paper, we consider penetrating propagation of a plane monochromatic electromagnetic wave in woodlands where the concentration of randomly distributed forest elements is low. These elements lead to appearance of a randomly varying component in the effective complex permittivity of the forest. Assuming that the random perturbation of the refraction coefficient is small, we apply the Rytov approximation and find the normalized coherent and incoherent components of the electric field intensity at the receiving point.
